Crispy Forest Fruit

– Sweet –

Belgian summers aren’t exactly considered as tropical, yet we do get the occasional taste of it. Longing for those nice warm days to be here soon, I decided to get in the mood with some fruity desserts. When I bought the book Recipes of an Italian Summer I instantly had a crush on the crostata ai frutti di bosco or crispy forest fruit pie, with lemon filling. Admitted, it was a bit ambitious to start baking at 9pm – I’m still a rookie in baking so I didnt’ finish before around midnight – yet it was all worth it.
